Phenylalanine is an amino acid that the body cannot make on its own. The body needs to get phenylalanine from an outside source. There is a wide variety of foods that contain phenylalanine. Most of these foods can be found in the major food groups. Fortunately for the taste buds, the sources of phenylalanine are usually good tasting too. Dairy foods such as milk and eggs contain phenylalanine. Also products made with dairy such as yogurt and cheese also have phenylalanine. Soy products, whole soy, or soy protein (such as tofu) have both protein and phenylalanine.
